Intellian Technologies Inc. and OneWeb have unveiled a new series of Flat Panel user terminals designed for use on OneWeb’s low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network. This collaboration aims to enhance connectivity solutions for various markets, including Land Fixed, Land Mobile, Maritime, and Government sectors, by offering compact, high-performance terminals.
Flat Panel Series: Design and Utility
The Flat Panel Series by Intellian includes both Pro and Compact user terminals, known for their exceptional performance and low-profile design. These terminals cater to global customers who require easy installation and reliable connectivity in diverse environments.
Customers can choose from four different user terminals tailored to meet specific needs. Both Pro and Compact models are available in two configurations: a fixed enterprise terminal and a mobility terminal. These designs ensure dependable connectivity on land and at sea.
Advanced Beam Technology
The Flat Panel Series utilizes advanced technology, including active electronically scanned array (AESA) and proprietary artificial intelligence algorithms, to deliver precise beam pointing and fast satellite handovers. These features make them suitable for OneWeb’s frequent beam transitions, even at low elevation angles.
Eric Sung, President and CEO of Intellian Technologies Inc., remarked on the company's advancements, stating, "Our evolution into flat panel user terminals has been an exceptionally exciting and intense development, that has not only stretched the boundaries of our technological prowess but has also redefined the possibilities within the industry."
Launch Timing and Variations
The first model, OW11FL, is slated for launch in Q1 2024, aimed at fixed enterprise users with demanding performance needs. This will be followed by the OW11FM, designed for mobility applications such as shipping and transportation. Additional terminals, including the OW9HM and OW10HL, will launch later in 2024, targeting mobility users and fixed enterprise applications, respectively.
Partnership and Future Outlook
Massimiliano Ladovaz, CTO at OneWeb, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, "We are delighted to partner with Intellian once again to bring these AESA terminals to the market and add them to OneWeb’s comprehensive suite of terminal solutions." He highlighted the capability of the Flat Panel Series to serve diverse market needs by leveraging OneWeb's fast, reliable, low-latency network.
This partnership is expected to lay the groundwork for future product variants, allowing OneWeb to customize solutions for different use cases, ensuring flexible and dependable connectivity worldwide.

Pro and Compact Flat Panels
These Flat Panel terminals are meticulously designed to meet the unique demands of end users
Through the Pro and Compact Flat Panels, customers have a choice of four different user terminals to address their specific market needs and use cases. Both the Pro and Compact models come in two versatile configurations: a fixed enterprise terminal and a mobility terminal.
These Flat Panel terminals are meticulously designed to meet the unique demands of end users, ensuring reliable connectivity everywhere in the world, on land and at sea.
Reliable and accurate beam
Based on active electronically scanned array (AESA) technology, coupled with proprietary antenna element design, custom vector-amplifier phased array chipset, and proprietary artificial intelligence software algorithms of beam forming and beam shaping, Intellian’s Flat Panel Series is redefining the flat panel product class across the industry.
To support the frequent beam and satellite handovers required for OneWeb, Intellian’s flat panel architecture allows for highly reliable and accurate beam pointing with optimized tracking, and ultra-fast, sub-milli-second satellite handovers, even at low elevation look angles as encountered in mobility markets.
Critical applications
For commercial, private, and government customers requiring fixed, land mobility, or maritime installations, Intellian’s Flat Panel Series is ideal for all levels of connectivity needs including critical applications.
The terminals enable connectivity to OneWeb’s network at OneWeb’s Committed Information Rates, even with severe platform motion.
Compact user terminals
Intellian's global leadership in the maritime communications industry makes the Flat Panel Series, Pro, and Compact user terminals for mobility highly anticipated additions to the OneWeb roadmap by customers looking for reliability and excellence in such challenging environments.
Eric Sung, President and CEO at Intellian Technologies Inc., said, "Our evolution into flat panel user terminals has been an exceptionally exciting and intense development, that has not only stretched the boundaries of our technological prowess but has also redefined the possibilities within the industry."
SWAP form factor
"With such a sleek, optimized SWAP form factor user terminal that doesn’t compromise on performance, our Flat Panel Series is unlike anything OneWeb’s customers have experienced to date. We’re proudly empowering their connectivity with these initial four flat panel user terminal series."
First to market in Q1 2024 is the OW11FL, the Pro terminal designed specifically for fixed enterprise needs with demanding performance requirements such as business continuity, community broadband, and government sectors.
OW11FM
OW9HM Compact terminal designed for mobility users including blue light services and leisure vessels
Shortly thereafter in 2024 Intellian will launch the OW11FM, another Pro terminal, this time tailored for mobility such as shipping, superyachts, transportation, and rail.
Maintaining this momentum into Q2 and Q3 2024 will be the launch of the OW9HM Compact terminal designed for mobility users including blue light services and leisure vessels, followed by the OW10HL version for fixed enterprise use such as cellular backhaul, NGOs, and military. Intellian anticipates these will be the foundation for further variants that will allow OneWeb to customize solutions and address other use cases in the future.
Dependable and flexible connectivity solutions
Massimiliano Ladovaz, CTO at OneWeb, said, "We are delighted to partner with Intellian once again to bring these AESA terminals to the market and add them to OneWeb’s comprehensive suite of terminal solutions."
"Intellian’s Flat Panel Series will cater to a range of diverse market segments and uses. By combining Intellian's pioneering technology with OneWeb's fast, reliable, low-latency network capabilities, we will continue to provide customers with dependable and flexible connectivity solutions that meet their needs worldwide.”
